Do I stress you out
|
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
|
And you say how appropriate
|
I don't want to dissect everything today
|
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
|
But I can't help it
|
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
|
Slap me with a splintered ruler
|
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
|
If only I could hunt the hunter
|
|
And all I really want is some patience
|
A way to calm the angry voice
|
And all I really want is deliverance
|
Do I wear you out
|
You must wonder why I'm so relentless and all strung out
|
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
|
I'm like Estella
|
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
|
I'm frustrated by your apathy
|
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
|
If only I could meet the Maker
|
|
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
|
I am humbled by his humble nature
|
What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
|
Someone else to catch this drift
|
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
|
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
|
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
|
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
|
Falling all around...all around
|
Why are you so petrified of silence
|
Here can you handle this?
|
|
Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
|
Or when you think you're gonna die
|
Or did you long for the next distraction
|
And all I need know is intellectual intercourse
|
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
|
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
|
If only I could kill the killer
|
|
All I really want is some peace man
|
a place to find a common ground
|
And all I really want is a wavelength
|
All I really want is some comfort
|
A way to get my hands untied
|
And all I really want is some justice...
|
